Is Aging a Curable Disease? Some Researchers Are Beginning to Treat It As Such

Aubrey de Grey, with a Ph.D. in Genetics from the University of Cambridge, is pursuing radical life extension. The central goal of his work is to expedite the development of a true cure for human aging. In his view, the fundamental knowledge necessary mostly exists, but anti-aging medicine and therapies need to be developed. He is pursuing these through basic biogerontology research and development of technological approaches to the reversal (not merely the prevention) of various aspects of aging.
